A Legend on 13.. Rathis!!


The spirit of the smiling glory is believable
That’s where the smile of life still smiles

There is a mystery about the breeze that smiles
This maybe a beginning of a swift angel

That we all look at her & still listen
That we should be at a little more than smiling

Though we always had looked up at the stars
Than this we always had wondered between

This is the sphere of energy that kept us going
This is the energy of this world & beyond tomorrow

Than we & us &me & my we cannot amass
Than a blight we should so believe

Throw a big pebble & the rock would smile
This cannot be a mystery as she would still smile

That she plans & so she sings within
That she is the spirit & the brain behind

Tomorrow the day might dawn so bright
Today the evening smells so quiet

Try desserts for all that dinner is worth
Try sweet for all the badmaashi is worth

The Creativity of a human is just so much worth
The Dreams of a million she’d have a day

There cannot be a party without her brawn
There cannot be a song without her will

This has been the essence since we were born
She was born
She was an inspiration!!

Dreams & Beyond!!


I guess somewhere between my Rum
& my marriage I had a dream

I guess somewhere between an open jeep
& my dream I had a dream

I guess somewhere between the end of the month
& my birth I had a dream

I guess somewhere between Pune & Kerala
& my life I had a dream

I guess somewhere between the 90’s
& my dilemmas I had a dream

I guess somewhere between 301 & 106
& my heart I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a flute
& my keyboard I had a dream

I guess somewhere between Aju & Ranj
& 6 decades I had a dream
I guess somewhere between ‘n’  kitchens
& a lifetime I had a dream

I guess somewhere between our happiness
& a temple I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my sisters
& a life I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my brothers
& a soul I had a dream

I guess somewhere between the kids
& a love I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a desert
& my greenlands I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my colours
& my choices I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my wishes
& my wishes I had a dream


I guess somewhere between my voice
& my liberty I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my right
& my wrong I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my decisions
& my happiness I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my dal
& my sambar I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my thoughts
& my decisions I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my travels
&my family I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a lifetime
& my grandchildren I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a city
&the countries I had a dream


I guess somewhere is where I can choose
&still say to the world I had a dream

This is us, my Acha ,
my Amma
& their dream!!
Their Dream!!
